Fortnite: How Many Sprites There Are

Fortnite: Every Guide official art

There are 21 Sprites in Fortnite Battle Royale as of September 28, 2026: 20 named in Epic’s Override patch notes and posts, plus the Morgana Sprite, which the community wiki records arriving on September 24. Epic has two more community-designed Sprites still to release this season, and each Sprite can also turn up in special variants, which pushes the collectible total far higher.

Below we list every current Sprite and what it does, explain the variants, name the Sprites still coming, and cover what happened to the older generations.

Which Season This Covers

This count covers Chapter 7 Season 4, Fortnite Override, as of the v42.20 update. Sprites are seasonal content that rotates: Override launched with a brand new generation and moved the Season 3 (Runners) Sprites to the Sprite Garden, so the number below is what you can actually find on the island today. Epic adds Sprites through the season, usually on Thursdays, so the total climbs until Override ends, which the community wiki lists as October 31, 2026. It is the same on every platform.

Every Sprite in Fortnite Override

Effects below are Epic’s own descriptions from the v42.20 update notes and earlier Override notes, except where marked as the community wiki’s.

Sprite What it does Added
Klombo Grants random items at each level; levels only from healing Launch (v42.00)
Sonic Sprint faster Launch
Tails Hover with the help of Tails Launch
Shadow Automatically reloads weapons over time, even unequipped Launch
Jackrabbit Perform another jump while mid-air Launch
8-Bit 8-Bit Shotgun in your first Chest, plus a score multiplier Launch
Crown Extra Crown Wins after a Victory Royale; levels only by winning Launch
Adventure Upgrades a random inventory item at each level Launch
Bush Spawns a Bush on you; at max level, a Bush on elimination Launch
Jonesy Recover some Health or Shield shortly after being damaged Launch
Killswitch Enter Hangtime with improved accuracy Launch
Storm Scout Storm-powered; Overdrive from storm damage, per the wiki Late August
X-Ray Periodically marks enemies in an area around you v42.10
Onigiri Overdrive after eating or drinking a consumable v42.10
Mega Man Slip and slide around with reduced friction v42.10
Overshield Grants Overshield, scaling with Sprite level v42.10
Pond Jump just after landing for a Super Jump v42.20
Crash Bandicoot Midair spin attack that damages and knocks back v42.20
Blinky Taking damage cloaks you briefly v42.20
Morgana Makes healing items more effective, per the wiki September 24
Birthday Chests can drop cake slices; at max level, eliminations too September 26

X-Ray, Onigiri and Pond are three of the five winners of Epic’s Design-A-Sprite contest. The Klombo is the rarest of the set, and our guide to getting the Klombo Sprite covers how to hunt it.

Special Variants: Why the Real Number Is Higher

On top of the 21 base Sprites, Override has four kinds of special variant. Epic named each as it arrived, and the community wiki describes their bonus effects:

  • Gold: arrived with the first Power Hours on August 22. Bonus XP from eliminations.
  • Cheat Master: every input counts as correct when you enter a Cheat Code.
  • Hacker (Loot Hacker): added September 10. Raises the chance of your Loot Hack items spawning.
  • Bounty Hunter: added September 24. Chance to find Sprites when eliminating opponents, and levels only from eliminations.

The wiki says every Override Sprite except Mega Man can come in these variants. Epic’s own mastery track points the same way: the v42.20 notes promise a new pixel style for mastering 70 Sprites, far more than the 21 base ones, which only adds up if variants count. So if you are asking how many Sprites there are to collect, the honest answer is 21 base Sprites and many more once variants are included.

Sprites Still to Come

Epic announced five Design-A-Sprite winners for Override. Three have arrived, and two are still due in a mid-season update: the Dumpster Dive Sprite and the Honey Sprite. Epic has also said Sprites from past generations may return down the line, and Fortnitemares starts October 1, so expect the list above to grow before the season ends.

Season 3 and Older Sprites

Season 3 (Runners) introduced the current extract-and-collect system with its own generation, which the community wiki counts at 25 Sprites, from the Rare Water, Earth and Fire Sprites up to the Mythic Zero Point Sprite. None of them spawn in Battle Royale now. Epic says they live on in the Sprite Garden, as styles for the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling and the Guardian outfit, and on your Sprite Collection page.

Sprites existed before that too. The wiki traces them to Chapter 6 Season 1, when a handful of Sprites roamed the island and some could be carried to Sprite Shrines for loot, with no permanent collection. Across Chapter 7’s two generations, the wiki’s lists add up to 46 base Sprites so far.

How to Check Which Sprites You Have

Your Sprite Collection page, in the Sprites section of the Battle Royale lobby, shows everything you have extracted, and Epic says Season 3 Sprites stay on it alongside the new generation. In a match, Epic’s v42.00 changes also show whether you already own a Sprite you find, and display its name when you get close, so you can skip duplicates when you are only hunting for new ones.

A duplicate is not wasted, though. Extracting one sends its XP to your collection copy, as our guides to leveling up Sprites and extracting Sprites explain. For everything else, see every Fortnite guide.
